The swimming in the beginning and end of the movie was different and the color of the water was interesting. Having the Yes Men in the run-down areas doing their web-sites was funny. I found the idea that they could keep a straight face throughout all their skemes amazing
I noticed they did block out some faces of people they interviewed. For the Dow "trick" 300 million people were tuned into the broadcast. The stock dropped and the people of Bhopal were temporarially satisfied. It was really hit or miss that the Yes Men would get a response from their made up web-sites. I am really curious why they were not arrested for fraud. They also would need a camera man which would attract attention.
After the Dow "trick" they were interviewed with their real identities and asked about what they thought about upsetting the people of Bhopal? Whom were the audience they were trying to help. So the Yes Men went to Bhopal and talked to the locals asking the people of India if the "trick" was worth it. Stating " Dow spends more money to clean up its image and no help for the victims".
For the Eexon "trick" the candles were gross and they were eventually told to turn off their movie and leave.
The suits for the Halliburton "trick" were halarious which were called the "Survival Ball". I felt in this "trick" they really fooled the audience. Their keynote was saying that the original speaker cannot show up, which is how they get in.
The fake New York Times must have cost a bunch of money and I think was very different in their plan of attack than their other "tricks". They are stated saying "lets make it happen for real". Again the throw off is having a camera person involved, filming the handing out of the free newspapers.
Over all they do good things for people in need. I'm still not sure if they actually get in trouble, how much of the movie is staged, and if they are actually " fixing the world"? I feel their ideas and concept is very smart and and has a different outlook on how to help those that are just swept under the carpet.
